Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Adopted by the United Nations in 1948, it asserts the right to life, liberty, and security of person, which has been interpreted to include the right to not be subjected to medical or scientific experimentation without consent.
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights: This treaty, which came into force in 1976, includes provisions for the protection of personal autonomy and the right to privacy, which would encompass decisions about one's own body and medical care.
The Nuremberg Code: Developed after World War II in response to the medical atrocities committed during the war, this set of research ethics principles emphasizes the necessity of voluntary consent for medical procedures and experiments.
Declaration of Helsinki: Developed by the World Medical Association, it is a set of ethical principles for medical research involving human subjects, including guidelines on informed consent and the right to withdraw from a study.
Biomedicine Convention (or Oviedo Convention): A European treaty that specifically addresses the issue of consent in biomedicine, stating that interventions in the health field may only be carried out after the person concerned has given free and informed consent.
National Laws and Constitutions: Most countries have their own laws and constitutional protections that address the issue of consent for medical procedures. These laws vary widely but generally include provisions on informed consent, the right to refuse treatment, and the protection of vulnerable populations.
Medical Ethics and Professional Guidelines: Medical professionals are also bound by ethical guidelines and professional standards which typically include respect for patient autonomy and the requirement of informed consent for medical procedures.
These laws and principles collectively form a legal and ethical framework designed to protect individuals from forced medical procedures. It's important to note that the application and enforcement of these principles can vary significantly in different legal contexts but now needs to be addressed to the fullest extent of the law in each respective country where government overstepped the bounds of their authority.
